Book Description
The North Central Regional Center for Rural Development helps a number of stakeholders meet their mission and objectives. Stakeholders include those who directly fund the organization, as well as the moral community of the people and places of the North Central region. It is at the nexus of federal, state and local demands and opportunities. The major funder is the Cooperative State Research, Education and Extension Service. As part of the U.S. Department of Agriculture under the Research, Education and Economics mission area, the CSREES mission "...is to advance knowledge for agriculture, the environment, human health and wellbeing, and communities." The NCRCRD shares this mission, with special emphasis on human well-being and communities. CSREES has five strategic goals: (1) Enhance economic opportunities for agricultural producers; (2) Support increased economic opportunities and improved quality of life in rural America; (3) Enhance protection and safety of the Nation's agriculture and food supply; (4) Improve the Nation's nutrition and health; and (5) Protect and enhance the Nation's natural resource base and environment. (Contains 2 footnotes, 3 tables, and 1 figure.).

Book Description
At the start of each decade the World Development Report focuses on poverty reduction. The World Development Report, now in its twenty-third edition, proposes an empowerment-security-opportunity framework of action to reduce poverty in the first decades of the twenty-first century. It views poverty as a multidimensional phenonmenon arising out of complex interactions between assets, markets, and institutions. This Report shows how the experience of poverty reduction in the last fifteen years has been remarkably diverse and how this experience has provided useful lessons as well as warnings against simplistic universal policies and interventions. It shows how current global trends present extraordinary opportunities for poverty reduction but also cause extraordinary risks, including growing inequality, marginalization, and social explosions. The World Development Report 2000/2001 explores the challenge of managing these risks in order to make the most of the opportunities for poverty reduction.
